You can't get the same functionality in a website because Apple has deliberately not supported some web standards like push notifications.
Again you can make the argument that this is to protect users but it also just happens to protect their native app ecosystem.
- floatingatoll 7y agoThankfully they don’t support web push notifications. What a horrendous standard that’s turned out to be.
- scarface74 7y agoI made a mistake and turned on for Tom’s Hardware - a site that’s I thought was credible. They started spamming me immediately with advertising. Push notifications only came in handy to keep the battery draining Slack “application” off of my computer.
- the_gipsy 7y agoWhy would it be any better with apps? I had to uninstall many apps because there was no option to deactivate marketing PNs.
- floatingatoll 7y agoAll major mobile platforms let you disable all notifications from apps, sane as website push. Why were you forced to uninstall them to do so?
- the_gipsy 7y agoBecause I do want relevant PNs, like a chat message for marketplaces or billing issues, whatever. I couldn't disable something like "offers", "news", "marketing BS". When I have to turn off PNs completely for an app, there is no reason to have that app installed anymore, I might just use the website.
- floatingatoll 7y agoAh, so you didn’t “have to” uninstall apps, you simply chose to. I misunderstood your comment and retract my earlier “forced to” question, apologies.
